Christian Pulisic’s future is open. He doesn’t play a big role at Chelsea. Some media reported that a winter transfer is in the air. The US star has now commented on the rumours: Pulisic would like to end the season at Chelsea, but is still open to a change.
At the current World Cup in Qatar, Christian Pulisic showed how talented he is. Pulisic is a top performer in the US national team. The club situation is different. The 24-year-old does not play a major role at Chelsea this season. A London departure seems obvious. But nothing will come of it – at least not in the winter transfer window.
In the US podcast Indirect, Pulisic spoke about his future at Stamford Bridge. “Right now I’m absolutely part of Chelsea, focused and ready to end the season here,” Pulisic said. He is still open to a change. “You know how things work in football. Things can change and happen quickly,” he added.
Pulisic also said about the situation with the 2021 Champions League winner: “At the moment I’m just trying to give everything in training and work for Chelsea, because that’s the club I’m with right now.” These statements do not sound like a clear commitment to the English club. A change could still be an option for Pulisic.
The US international moved to Stamford Bridge in winter 2019 for 64 million euros. Pulisic initially played for BVB for six months before becoming an integral part of the Chelsea squad from the summer of 2019. The attacker had good phases there, but could never do justice to the high transfer fee. This season is the low point of his time in London. Coach Graham Potter doesn’t seem to be a huge fan. Since the Englishman’s arrival at the beginning of September, Pulisic has only started three games, mostly only coming on as a substitute.
Pulisic is considered a major selling point for Potter. Recently there have been rumors about a possible return to Borussia Dortmund and a loan deal with Manchester United. A swap deal with Kingsley Coman from FC Bayern Munich was also traded.
